Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What exactly is this Cartier Panthère Charm Bag? A: It is a vintage Cartier bag charm in silver‑tone metal featuring the Maison’s panther motif. It has a short chain and a lobster clasp for easy styling on a handbag or similar attachment point. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions and to the product information for full details, including the country of origin noted as France.
Q: How do I attach it securely to my bag? A: Open the spring‑loaded lobster clasp by pressing the lever, clip it to a D‑ring, handle base ring, or strap hardware, then release to lock. Ensure the ring you clip to is slim enough for the clasp opening and check that the charm can hang freely without rubbing the leather or hardware.
Q: Will a metal charm scratch my bag or its hardware? A: As with any metal charm, contact and movement can mark softer leathers and can cause light wear to hardware over time. To minimise risk, attach it to an external metal ring, avoid positioning it against delicate leather finishes, and remove it during travel or heavy use if you are concerned.
Q: Which bags is it compatible with? A: It works with most bags that have a ring or chain link to clip onto. For best results, clip to a metal D‑ring or strap ring rather than directly onto leather. If your bag has very thick rings or lacks external hardware, compatibility may be limited—please check the Measurements on this page against your bag’s hardware.
Q: Can I use it as a key holder as well? A: Many clients style similar Cartier Panthère charms as key holders thanks to the clasp and chain. If you choose to do so, avoid overloading the clasp with bulky keys and be mindful of contact with other items that could cause surface scratches.
Q: Is the metal solid silver? A: The item is described as silver‑tone metal rather than sterling silver. Cartier precious‑metal pieces are typically marked with metal hallmarks; small fashion charms can be silver‑tone without precious‑metal marks. Please review the photos and product information for any visible signatures or markings.
Q: How should I care for the silver‑tone finish? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Keep it away from moisture, perfumes, lotions, and household cleaners, and store it separately in a soft pouch to avoid scuffs. Avoid abrasive polishes; a mild soap‑and‑water wipe followed by thorough drying is usually sufficient if deeper cleaning is needed.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. This listing currently indicates no additional items are included beyond the charm itself.
Q: What is the condition? A: This piece is graded Very Good Condition. The metal is described as shiny with light scratches consistent with gentle vintage wear. Please review all images and notes for the most accurate view of condition.
Q: What is special about Cartier’s Panthère motif? A: The panther has been an emblem of Cartier since 1914 and appears across jewellery and leather goods in many interpretations. This charm features that iconic design language in a compact, wearable form.
